Growing out of a project guitarist Harris started a few years ago with other contemporary blues artists, this collaboration brings together two likeminded musicians, both forward-looking yet immersed in tradition. Starting from country and Delta blues, Harris has followed eclectic tangents toward jazz and reggae, while fiddler/accordionist Watson has soaked up virtually the entirety of Cajun, Creole, and Zydeco music. Both are also compelling vocalists and composers adept at mining their sources. 7 p.m. $30—$35. 1010 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis. More info here.—Rick Mason
